Guess the Place

[MartinR]

They're "Pip's Graves" in Cooling churchyard.  The churchyard is supposed to be the inspiration for the opening scene in Dicken's "Great Expectations".

Maybe this is not as easy as I thought.
When I say North Kent, I was more north than south Essex.
(That pretty well gives the place away)

OK castle261, we will leave somebody else to guess the place.

The writing is small because this site displays the image as a "thumbnail" (smaller) version of the picture.
You see a bigger picture if you click on the thumbnail.
And, if click on the file name to the right of the paperclip symbol, the picture is downloaded onto your computer so you can view it, and zoom it even bigger, with your favourite image viewer.
I think you can do that with any images on the site to appreciate them more, not just the "guess the place" pictures.

Your typing is TOO small, and I am TOO old to change. Over to you Local Hiker !

castle261, you get the extra points for the book. If you have a picture, and want to name the place, then post your picture to have a turn, I am no IT expert, but can try and talk you through. A couple of tips to get you started:-

 Pip ----------- from Great Expectations ?


If right I can not follow on, dont know HOW !

[Local Hiker]

How the dickens has this not been guessed yet? (clue)
The graveyard is in North Kent.
Extra points for the book.

I tried, but Stuart turned off registrations after you got in.

[Local Hiker]

Indeed you were, before I had finished setting it up. 

Youthful enthusiasm without the youth. I did wonder why nobody else signed up for a while after me.


Anyway, back to the quiz; The graveyard is in North Kent.

Hi Mate ,Nice to see you have come over to the Forum .I wondered if any of the old locals were about.
You have it .It was the Morrisons round all the Stores in South of England Charity cycle ride a few years ago. Finished at Woodcombe Club. Yes there are still theold Brickfield Tram lines crossing the road.
Over to you

Only onto the step under the roof, not moved far. The Woodcoombe club in Church Road, Murston.

I recall old railway tracks are still visible in the road along the north wall of the club.

Found it on Google - those two dog statues have moved to a new position 

I won't put in my guess as I'm away until Friday and it will hold things up.

Was once ,but now very near large commercial and industrial area. On the old forum it would have been found straight away but we dont have so many members yet.
